- HAIR-GURLING DEVICE.

Application filed August 21, 1925. Serla 1 .,N0. 511591.

My present invention relates to a device for curling hair and its principal object is the provision of simple and inexpensive means, as above, which will produce curls or undulations in the hair in two planes.

Another object of the invention is the provision of means in the curling device whereby an adjustment maybe made to tighten the hair against the projections of the curling device.

Still another important object is the vision of such a device which will not in ure the hair and which maybe readily inserted within any desired form of tubular electric heater, to which no claim is made, and which is common practice; The hair after being properly twisted on the device, may be wrapped with a fabric containing moisture, or other lotion, before insertion in the heating element,'so that the hair may be treatedand curled in the same operation.

To this end my invention includes a de-' vice having projections at approximately right angles to each other and in staggered relation, the hair being adapted to be twisted around the projections, first on. one side and then on the other of the device. In between the 'pro'ections I provide, a movable element adjusta 1e by set screws from the. rear,

which may be made to move outward from the device so that it will be possible to tighten the hair being curled on the device,

as may be desired.

I have illustrated in the accompanying drawing, the preferred form of apparatus for carrying out the above operation, but it is understood that this is merely diagrammatic and illustrative of one embodiment of the invention, as'obviously it may be carried out in various ways and with divers mechanisms. V

In these drawings z- Figure 1 isa plan view of one form of my invention, showing the same in use.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the device of Fig.

Fig. -3 is a sectional elevation on the line Fig. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. Referring now with particularity to the form illustrated, I have shown a base block 1, composed of any desired material and which will not corrode or injure the hair,

1 like device.

and outstanding therefrom, at approximately right angles to each other, projec tions 2 andin staggered relation to each as desired on the projections, the same may be made loose or ti ht on said projections by taking up or Ietting off of the set screws 6. i i

" In order to securely retain the hair in proper position, I provide at one end of the ase 1, a depression 7 which is adapted to take the large end of the strand of hair, which is then secured in position by means of'a swivel. hook 8 engaging a screw 9, or a Before, the strand of hair is passed around the first projection, it is made It will be apparent that afterv the hair has been twisted to pass from thedepression 7 around a curved stud 10 as clearly'illustrated.

At the opposite end of the device, I provide an endstud 11 having an overhangingtop 12, which is ada ted to receive the end of the strand of halr being curled, which may be twisted about said end stud as in-a' half hitch, which will hold thesame securely in place.

When the hair has thus been secured in the, device, it may then be wrapped in a cloth wet with water or any desired lotion for the treatment of the hair, and inserted within an ordinary tubular heating device so that the hair may be treated while being subj ected to heat.

It is to be understood that all parts of the device with which the hair is to come in conwhich gives a very pleasing marcel efi'ect without injurious effects upon the hair, and in a very inexpensive manner.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. A hair curling device including a base element of substantially triangular cross section having projections on two of its faces, means to tighten hair intertwined between the projections on opposite faces, said hair tightening means comprising a bar a.r-'

ranged longitudinally of the base and between the projections.

2. A hair curling device including a base element of substantially triangular cross section havlng pro ections on two of its 3 faces, means to tighten hair intertwined between the projections on opposite faces, said hair tightening means including a bar arranged between opposite projections and adapted to underlie the hair, and means for moving the bar in relation to the base.

3. A hair curling device including a base element of substantially triangular cross section having projections on two of its faces, means to tighten hair intertwined between the projections on opposite faces, said hair tightening means including a bar arranged longitudinally of the base and between opposite projections and lying in a socket in the base, and a set screw passing throughthe base and engaging the bottom of the bar, movement of said screw causing movement of the bar outwardly from the base.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
